Thanks to Oprah Winfrey, I’ve discovered a new tool to apply in the battle for the souls of my feet. It’s a truShiatsu PRO foot massager from TruMedic. It looks like a Roomba with two big holes in it. It cost me $150 from Amazon and it’s well worth the investment.

Even in its default, power-on, operating configuration, the truShiatsu PRO is a beast and it knocks the shit out of my feet. If it didn’t do so I wouldn’t be able to feel any therapeutic effects through the numbness in my toes.

The massage mechanism inside the Roomba consists of an integrated set of moving/rolling balls and expanding/contracting air compression sleeves. The balls and sleeves dance together in a well orchestrated and choreographed act that emulates a pair of human hands giving a shiatsu massage.

But it’s better than just a plain ole pair of hands. It feels like there are a pair of “man hands” in that shell that are beating my feet into blissful oblivion.
